Sonesta Select Charlotte University Research Park
I wasn’t sure what to expect based on the location and the price. Pleasantly surprised. Nice lobby. Very comfortable bed. Good water pressure. Easy parking. Helpful staff. AC worked but I couldn’t figure out adjusting it as there seemed to be two separate systems for my room. I didn’t get a chance ...
